Need a break from gaming? The GeForce 7900 GPU also delivers smooth, high-definition video playback and crisp picture quality thanks to its advanced NVIDIA PureVideo technology. If you are searching for an extreme HD gaming and video experience on the PC, look no further than a Geforce 7900 GPU.

Only when running Vista and a DX10 game. In XP there's not a huge difference, and XP dosen't do DX10.

Do not believe the hype about this being as good for high-end gaming, but this is still a good price for a 8600 equivalent. No where near equivalent to a 8800.

I used the pre overclocked version of the xfx 7900gs card for a year. it was very good, played crysis on a mixture of low/med settings, scored @ 5600 in 3dmark06
I bought the cheap asus 8800gs off ebuyer last week, now sold out, and it gets @ 9800 pts on 3dmark06.
have not tried any games yt as only installed 2 days ago

the 7900gs is a great card for that price, but it was much noisier and much hotter than the 8800gs
I would not buy a 7900gs at current prices, instead look for a 512mb versions of 3850 @£65, or look for a 8800gs @£70 if funds do not stretch to a £90 8800 gt or a £112 4850

you pays your money and takes your choice

Yes it will play high def great, I had one and used it for that very purpose.

Note though that the fan is very noisy on these and mine ran at 100% all the time. Very annoying indeed.

No way to turn it down. not with rivatuner, speedfan or by flashing the bios.

Only a problem with xfx version IIRC.

So in summary, good performance for the price but very noisy. Needs an aftermarket cooler really, at extra cost.....

This is an old high-end card. i.e. high power draw, lots of heat and a fan. For HTPC use a low end new card like a 3450 or an 8500GT is a much better choice, especially if you get a passive one with a big heatsink instead of a fan, unless you want gaming performance as well.

I have a 7800gt in my mums media centre and is fine for all her games, but useless for high def films. It seems I should have put one of the HD 38xx cards in their or a newer Nvidia to help HD playback. At the moment its pure processor power performing the playback.
